About me
Jo Brown, Illustrator
I love drawing, painting and just about everything in between. I love colour and pattern and texture, creating characters and stories and I absolutely love picture books.
(I love all books actually, but picture books have ...um... pictures in them)
I have illustrated 40 ish children's books of all sorts, including fiction/ non-fiction/ novelty/touch and feel/pop-up , and I have written a few too.
I can cope professionally with tight deadlines, and I can generate my own content.
Beyond books, I have illustrated packaging, for food and for toys and games, including a range of food treats for dogs and cats.
I also design for stationery, giftwrap and textiles, (my first love) , I have illustrated several very large ranges of greetings cards for a major wholesaler; and a range of children's birthday cards I illustrated for an independent card publisher was a Henries finalist.
I prefer to work initially with paper paints and pencils, as I like the unexpected effects using real materials can give, but I can supply artwork digitally if that's what is needed.
Self- Initiated work: I produce my own individual (quirky) cards and prints which are available from my shop and selected retailers.
I have been a Member of the Association of Illustrators (AOI) for years, I would recommend them to any illustrator, they are very informative and supportive.
I am always looking for a new challenge, please contact me here : hello@jo-brown.co.uk
For enquiries related to books that have already been published please contact the publishers directly.
For news, quirks and thoughts and pictures of what's on my desk, see my blog or my instagram
